Senate Introduces Bill that Restricts Trump's Tariff Power

The tariffs, which were issued under Section 232 provisions of the 1962 Trade Expansion Act meant to allow protection of national security, have triggered widespread retaliation against U.S. exports.

President Donald Trump'spitch on trade at the G7 in Canada will be no doubt a tough sell, especially since many prominent lawmakers - from the President's own party - are criticizing the idea of imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Why are Republicans supporting a bill against their Republican president? They hurt American workers, families, and employers. It would first rely on congressional Republicans to vote in direct opposition to Donald Trump's legislative interests, not to mention Donald Trump could easily veto the bill.

For now, lawmakers may be skeptical about Trump's use of a tariff motion that's exclusively supposed for use for reputable nationwide safety considerations, however they're extra centered on his having a robust place within the ongoing talks.

A lot of the worry from congressional Republicans is about the instability the tariff policy could lead to. I have urged President Trump instead to focus on reciprocity-do for our country what our country does for you-instead of imposing tariffs, which are basically higher taxes on American consumers.

Corker, who is retiring at the end of the year, said he received a "lengthy" phone call from the Republican president, who told him "he's not pleased with the effort" to rein in his trade authority. "If the president thinks that tariffs are necessary for national security reasons, our bill requires Congress to approve that decision within 60 days", said Alexander.

Trump said he stood up his G7 allies who were angry over US steel and aluminum tariffs imposed against Canada, Europe and Mexico . The PM also said she had spoken to Mr Trump "briefly" at the summit about his upcoming visit to the UK.

And other Republicans are anxious Trump is spending too much time making flimsy national security arguments and not enough time focused on legitimate national security threats like Chinese telecom ZTE, which the Pentagon and intelligence community have long maintained poses a national security threat because it can use its devices as surveillance tools.

"For too long Congress has ceded important policymaking authority to the executive branch on a wide range of issues", Sen. "It's time for Congress to reclaim its constitutional authorities on tariffs to ensure we don't undermine the significant economic progress we have made over the last 18 months". This legislation makes it clear that to use Section 232, there must be a proven risk to our national security.

"I've said repeatedly, I don't think anyone wins a trade war".

"President Trump's global trade war is creating chaos here at home", said Hun Quach, vice president of worldwide trade at the retail leaders' group. "I encourage my colleagues to promptly pass this legislation and push back against ill-conceived protectionist measures".
